Should you replace it?

Trinity questions
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Trinity

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Trinity
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book

- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in Trinity
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
